Slovaks vote to name bridge after Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris is the top pick in a Slovakian public poll to choose the name of a bridge that crosses the Morava river into Austria.

The action star has 74% total of the votes followed by Austro-Hungarian empress Maria Theresa in second place and the Devinska cycling bridge, reports The Guardian.

The regional assembly will have the final decision on what to name the bridge, but the regional governor Pavol Freso said that he would stay true to what the public wants as shown in the poll, which will run until April.

Fresco said: "The same way as we have so far been building it in full sight of the public, we will seek that the name is accepted by the public as well."
